There is a claim that one remembers that in Muroran, Hokkaido, an old Imperial Japanese Navy Chinjufu (Naval District headquarters) was also established, and that before the war there was a naval base larger in scale than Sasebo, but that was never constructed, and in this world’s history there is no such thing as the Muroran Naval Base. In that person’s memory, in November 1944 during the war, it was attacked by a U.S. fast carrier task force and its accompanying fleet; with naval gunfire from four battleships and attacks by carrier-based aircraft from eight aircraft carriers, the base portion was thoroughly destroyed, it was judged difficult to rebuild, and the Naval Port Muroran and the Muroran Chinjufu were abolished, and at the nearby key port of Ominato a Keibi-fu (Guard District, same status as a Chinjufu) was established and it was reorganized upward. Also, at that time Ominato should have been reclassified from a key port to a naval port, but in current history Ominato became a Keibi-fu in November 1941 before the war began. The postwar Maritime Self-Defense Force also mainly used Ominato rather than Muroran. It was judged better to expand Hakodate’s functions rather than rebuild Muroran as a base, and postwar Muroran never returned to its former appearance, and one remembers that the ruins from the naval port era were left as they were. In current fact, a Chinjufu was never established in Muroran. Also, the naval gunfire bombardment has been changed to having occurred in July 1945. In the pre-change attack on Muroran, because the Imperial Japanese Navy resisted fiercely to the point of even conducting tokkō (suicide attacks) with torpedo boats, on the American side two light cruisers were heavily damaged and one battleship was moderately damaged and entered the dock until the end of the war. The American side also suffered considerable losses of several hundred dead and several thousand wounded. In that person’s world line, Sasebo becoming the site of a…
